Before NASDAQ Panel

HONG KONG, May 18, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — INTAC International, Inc. (Nasdaq: INTNE; FSE: WKN 805768) (the “Company”), today reported that it has been notified by the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market that its hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) has been scheduled for June 2, 2005. As previously announced on May 10, 2005, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department stating that, although the Company filed its 2004 Form 10-K, the Company does not comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because its 2004 Form 10-K did not include its management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and the related report of the Company’s independent public accounting firm on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (collectively, the “Attestations”) as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Company requested a hearing on the matter before a Panel. At the June 2, 2005 hearing, the Company will request an extension of its listing privileges for a period of time sufficient to allow the Company to complete the implementation of the framework and the testing necessary to comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley or an exception to the requirement to file the Attestations to the extent applicable to the Company’s 2004 Form 10-K. The Company expects the Panel to issue a decision within several weeks of the hearing.
